Hey, all... as usual, I figured I'd try to get some opinions on
a new purchase for the Cherokee. Mains are worn out, and I am leaning
towards some McCreary AirHawks. Any thoughts?

My plane came with McCrearys. They lasted over five years. I still had tread
left when I replaced them, but I had cracks between the treads going down to
the belts. I replaced them with Condors. Three years later, they still look
nearly new. At three years old, I had to reverse the McCrearys to equalize
tread wear, but they probably had more hours on them than the Condors do now.
For me, the Condors were worth the extra money. I think they look prettier, too.

good fortune to run into the ones I like, and the eyesight to tell the
